Comfortable Stay in a Central Spot

comfortable bed great amenities
The room was clean and offered all available facilities. Staff showed very good behaviour. I appreciated the comfortable bed and great amenities, especially after a long travel day.
I arrived in the evening, and I found the front door difficult to locate. There was not sufficient signage and the lighting was poor in the dark alleys. I spent about 10 minutes walking to find the entrance.
